i melt

something is melting within me 
like warm syrup and honey  

sweet and delectable 

sap-filled and runny 


if i’m becoming so  

who is the banquet for? 

it is my heart, my heart 

slipping to the floor 


my body keeps blossoming 

as if sunlight and rain are upon it

your eyes and smile have opened me

to life and love, poetry and sonnet 


you are good to my soul 

i am blossoming in marigold 

sipping wine at a villa in France 

while the rest of the world is on hold
